Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 medium apple, grated
- 0.25 cup dried fruits (e.g., raisins, chopped apricots)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup fresh fruits for topping (e.g., berries, banana slices)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, and yogurt. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully coated.
Add honey or maple syrup, grated apple, dried fruits, chopped nuts, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
The next morning, give the mixture a good stir. If the muesli seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Divide the muesli into serving bowls and top with your favorite fresh fruits such as berries or banana slices.
Serve chilled and enjoy a wholesome, Swiss-inspired breakfast!
